  Dark ruby. Classic aromas of barnyard, rose petals, redcurrants and blackberries in a complex meld. Fine penetration of bright fruit on the palate with ringing acids and chewy tannins. 12.5% alcohol. Lean but generous, wise but unpretentious.

  Dark fruit (cherry, slight blueberry), pepper, nice spice, good acidity. Bright. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable

  Integrated bright aromas of barnyard, earth, roses, and redcurrants. Sweet, sour, and salty red fruit on the palate with a generous spread, a crisp tannic bite, and a lingering acid finish. Excellent with Vietnamise style squab and stir fried green beans.

  Nose is dark cherry with a whiff of savory green pepper. Something vaguely like iodine. Mouthfeel is medium; great integration between the acid and the fruit, but would prefer a little more definition. Medium-long finish of blackberry with fine tannins.
  
  Delicious, very drinkable, and well-balanced. Time in the bottle has presumably helped.

  Gentle generous aromas of aromatic red plums, mocha, soil, with a hint of cardamom. Sweet acid atttack on the front of the palate with a firm tannic fruit core and a bright acid finish. Stands up well to tofu burgers and sea slaw. Which ain’t easy.
